skyn ICELAND at CEW

Last night, skyn ICELAND headed out from our Midtown offices to the Manhattan Pavillion for the CEW Beauty Awards Product Demonstration.  We sampled our groundbreaking Glacial Cleansing Cloths, the only foaming, cleansing, makeup removing cloth product of the event!  Attendees - cosmetic executive women from all across the beauty industry - were wowed by how gentle and effective our cloths are.  Take a look at some photos from the night:

Welcome to CEW...

New Product Alert: Arctic Face Mist!

We couldn't be more excited to announce the newest member of the skyn ICELAND line: Arctic Face Mist.  But wait, didn't we already have an Arctic Face Mist?  While the name is still the same, what's inside the bottle couldn't be newer.  We've taken our original super-refreshing, irritation-calming formula, stripped the dye from it, infused it with a daily multivitamin for skin and an incredibly calming new minty-fresh fragrance, and added the most power-packed ingredients we could find.

Check out the new super-stars of our ultra-restorative, ultra-protective new Arctic Face Mist:

• Vitamin A to help provide anti-aging protection and renew depleted skin
• Vitamin B complex, well-known for its stress-fighting abilities, to help brighten and hydrate skin
• Vitamin C to help reduce inflammation and provide antioxidant protection
• Vitamin E to help nurture, hydrate and provide antioxidant protection
• Thiotaine, a powerful natural antioxidant, to help protect skin from stress- and free-radical damage and help diminish the signs of aging
• Yeast extract and cucumber water to help calm irritation and tone skin
• White willow bark, a naturally occurring form of salicylic acid, soothes irritation and helps prevent breakouts and congestion in the skin

As always, the new Arctic Face Mist is free of parabens, phthalates, sulfates, petrolatum, mineral oil, and now dye, too!  Treat the irritable, stressed skin you have now, and protect against future environmental damage -- all with one refreshing burst!

The best part?  New low price, too!  Pick up a bottle of our new Arctic Face Mist, currently available only at skynICELAND.com!

Drink, Drink Drink: Kickstart Your New Year!

Now that the holiday crunch is over, New Year's festivities have come and gone, we're all surprised that we're still in recovery mode.  Why's that?  One word is probably the culprit: DEHYDRATION.

Between the crazy running around of the last month, the late nights you pulled with your extra vacation days, and that slew of champagne celebrations, your body may still be trying to play catch up with you.  How can you make sure you help start the New Year right, back on your feet, stress-free?

Drink, drink, drink!  Water, that is.

Snapping back into your high-octane life after vacation isn't easy on us or our bodies.  Make sure you're drinking water all day, especially when you feel like you're suffocating in your sauna of an office.  Hydration will not only help your body recharge, but it'll kickstart your energy levels, rev your metabolism, and best of all, help bring the health glow back to your super-stressed skin. 

Do your body a favor - get hydrated!
